Hm, it just feels wrong though. Panics feel bigger than exceptions

  That's a cultural thing (and a good one, too). The one big difference tho is that in Rust, the end user of the library - i.e. the person compiling the binary of which this library is a part - can decide at that point whether panics unwind like C++ exceptions, or just abort immediately. Conversely, this means that the library should never assume that it can catch panics, even its own internal ones, because it may be compiled with panic=abort. So it's kinda like C++ exceptions, but libraries can only throw, never catch.
